In the coming weeks, you’ll be receiving a direct donation request letter from the Seward Montessori PTA. The PTA started the direct donation fund a few years ago after learning that many Seward Montessori families wanted the option of a simple, efficient way to make a tax deductible gift to enhance educational activities at our school, without having to sell or buy more “stuff”. It’s easy to donate. Simply mail a check using the envelope that will be provided with the letter or donate online by following the links provided on www.SewardMontessori.org.

As part of Seward Montessori’s 2012 Direct Donation Campaign, we are once again participating in Give to the Max Day, which will take place on Thursday, November 15. We invite you to make your online donations by going to www.SewardMontessori.org and using the links provided at any time on November 15. Last year with your help we were able to raise more than $5,000 for Seward Montessori on Give to the Max Day, and more than $7,500 during the Direct Donation Campaign overall. Every student matters, every family is important, and every donation—large or small—helps improve the quality of education our children receive.
